A HOWL FROM TEXAS.
A Novice from its Weary Wastes Wades
Waist Deep Through Our
Waste Basket,
To the CITIZEN.

TO the CITIZEN.
l have long entertained an insa-
table desire to see a sample Of the
chaste brilliancies of nay brain that
stick about the corners of my era
mum like dirt daubers in o lawyers
library or cobwebs in a gris4mill,
clothed in printers ink and pro-
mulgated to the four quarters Of
the globe, but fearing that the eff
fort would be lost and my labor re-
warded with waste basket publ
cation, | am therefore left standing
solitary and alone, unpublished, I'M
read and unhung-an unwatered
flower, as it were, born to blush IN
seen while great throng of itera-
~ cobblers, hewers of spring poe
try and drawers of long winded
yarns are slowly vending their way
up the mountain of notoriety and
clammoring to perch their carcasses
upon the pinnacle of foolishness.
That old waste basket is the worst
thing in my estimation Except the
devil J that is kept in printing Of
fee and the legislator who passes 8
law making it, q felony to keep waste
basket will be president of the Uni
ted States in four hundred years
from the time it is enacted. If il
were not for the waste basket tn,
health of our country would be pro
NOTED and the percentage of NOR
tality wonderfully diminished. Ant
then, too, the abolition of the big
mouthed waste basket in my opin
ion would tend to greatly diminisI
the doctors bills and drug account.
Of many poor creature who by it
disuse would become physicket
and tonicked by perusing the healtl
giving lays of the young poet, AM
humanity would become so thor
loughly purged with the man,
diseases that Turk in almost ever
household seeking to destroy thei
victims, that funerals and under
takers would be an unknown guam
tity and the quinine and pill traffi
as well as the entire medical pro
fession would be reduced to star
walton business.
| l say down with the waste has
ket and give the young American
poet chance to display his igno
rance, if you please. Now, Laps
don't think hard of me for thu
meddling with your business an,
take this matter only to yoursel
and l think you will agree with me-
and if you print this, put it 0.
among the advertisements and Civ
it nice and tasteful heading some
thing like Rough on Rats" DBL
Beans" Didn't Known it Wa
Loaded" or something after tina
style, and If this appears I will tr
to do better next time.

Senator Reagan has written a let
Ser to Mr.. Interstate Morrison in
which he denies the power of the
commission to suspend the long and
short haul clause Of the law on ac-
count of water competition and in
sisting that it must be applied rig
idly throughout and the business OF
the country forced to adjust itself.
Senator Reagan may congratulate
himself as being the author of the
most damaging and devastating
measure that was ever fastened up
on his peOple.

The Farmers Meetino

Next Saturday week, June 4th, is
the day named specially for the
farmers meeting. Col. Hord has
written toat he will positively be
here. The subject will be the vege-
table garden, with Mr.. NJ. Harwell
to open. IThere is to be a display of
vegetables of all kinds as are then
in season.
The success of the last meeting,
although many declined to exhibit,
should encourage all to larger eff
fort There is no reason why the
vegetable show should not be cred
liable. Let every farmer bring
something. There were large
number of ladies present before and
they swill doubtless be on hand
again.
1t is expected to have a grand
occasion. The topic interests ev
erybody and the distinguished visi-
tor should be accorded q big audi
ence.

An editorial in the Nashville Ameri-
can on Sunday base ball, one dsy last
week, did the paper more harm than
any other article it has published in q
long time, the sentiment of the good
people of this state is against Sunday
ball playing, and they will not tolerate
the practice or patroniZe any newspa
per tkaG does.--McMinpville StandaI
Outside of the fact that the ar
ticle complained of was written the
last day of the old management and
with evident purpose to injure the
paper, the criticism of the Standard
is just, except 10 one particular. 1t
i'll becomes an enlightened newspa-
per to advise boycotting in any
shape. 1t is q contemplate and q
cowardly mode Of attack. Espe-
cially should newspapers be left
free 20 discuss all matters in fullest
decent limit Newspapers should
uphold each other in condemning
and defying the sneakirg boycotter
Whenever by threat or force you
dim The light that newspapers throw
upon the transactions of men you
furnish cloak of darkness under
which evil is concocted. Give the
daily press fullest latitude and if
they go wrong correct them, but do
not sneak up behind and stab them
because they do not exactly come
up to your standard of sancti flea
ton.
